Breneran Aquaten boiler reviews

I have already presented a comparative review of various heating stoves, which, as practice shows, are in the most active demand among Russian consumers. However, individual designs of furnace devices require additional review. And dialogue with the consumer. This is the domestic Breneran stove - there is a special interest in it. You can read more about its structure here, and also watch the video. In this article I want to focus not so much on the advantages of the stove (they will tell you about them in advertising!), but on some of the nuances that real consumers themselves pay attention to.

Russian-made oven ↑

Breneran belongs to long-burning convection ovens

In fact, this stove can only conditionally be considered our own domestic development. Because it is an almost complete copy of the Canadian popular Buleryan stove. But nonetheless…

So, a few words about “Breneran”. And first, about ovens of this type - convection ovens.

The vast majority of modern metal stoves offered on the market have the same principle. Almost all of these devices are convection. Double-hull: inside there is a firebox, often with an afterburner chamber. Flue gases exit into a special smoke pipe at the rear. This makes combustion easier to control by limiting the air flow. The famous Russian stove is built on this principle.

A unifying collector could improve the situation ↑

Heating of the room occurs to a large extent due to the radiation of heat from the surface of the stove. So if the stove is located in an insulated room, and the neighboring ones are heated by supplying warm air through pipes, the heat loss will be quite noticeable. On this basis, experts advise that the first step is to put a special casing on the stove, create a connecting manifold, and only then separate the pipes from it. There are no such oven options in serial production; they are made to order, but this is also not a cheap pleasure.

Firebox features

Firewood from deciduous trees is used for the Buleryan stove; coniferous wood quickly clogs the chimney, so this type of fuel is not recommended. Fruit tree varieties produce minimal heat.

In front of the firebox, open the chimney damper and the blower damper. Firewood can be lit using any kind of ignition. After combustion has started, the loading door is closed. It is imperative to monitor the process for 10-15 minutes to ensure that the current process is correct. Warm air begins to enter the room quite quickly. If there is a strong draft in the oven, a peculiar hum appears, during which it is recommended to slightly close both dampers.

In addition to standard firewood, you can use:

brown coal together with firewood - burning only coal is prohibited, this will greatly reduce the service life of the equipment;
peat briquettes are the best option with ideal heat transfer;
tree bark, sawdust, wood chips - will help save money;
pellets – pre-installation of a grid is required.

How to remove condensation ↑

There is another known problem that is associated with the operation of Breneran. Its smoke pipe, as you know, is located on the wall of the stove at the back. A tee is mounted here - a chimney pipe is connected to it. At the bottom there is a glass plug for condensate. This design does not have the required tightness. And this is a problem, because condensation inevitably and steadily enters the air, which is not good. Some craftsmen adapt their own solutions, making sealed containers to collect condensate, while others remove it from the room using pipe devices. In short, we have to innovate as best we can, because the market, alas, does not offer ready-made solutions.

Main structural elements of Butakov models

The design of models from different series of furnaces has its own distinctive features, but the basis of each of them is a fuel chamber, an ash pan and a system of convective pipes.

Additional elements of Butakov brand heat generators:

Grate – separates the firebox and ash pit.
Gate - is a damper located at the outlet of exhaust combustion products.
Gas guide flaps - installed in the openings for the outlet of heated air.
Chimney system.

"Aqua-Breneran" ↑

Breneran stoves are known in several standard sizes, depending on the volume of the premises. To connect the water circuit, a model called “Aqua-Breneran” is offered. The disadvantage of this model can be considered the presence of a so-called “cold core”, which further cools the flue gases, which leads to worse draft in the pipe, promoting even more intense condensation formation. “Aqua-Breneran” needs to be heated more intensively. Consequently, the duration of operation of the furnace on one load of fuel is shorter.

The stove is good for a summer house or as an addition to a brick stove ↑

I like the stove - it’s scientifically made. It is good, of course, primarily for the dacha, garage or greenhouse. I wouldn’t put one of these in the house, except perhaps next to the brick one as an additional one. In general, it’s a big plus for the inventors of this design.

These are the reviews about the stove, friends. Different, as we see. It’s understandable - nothing is perfect in the world. And if you have something to say about this stove, please send information about your experience.

bullshit your Breneran is aqua. I worked for 2 winters and the back wall burned out. Now the door is burning out. And in 2013 it cost 25,000 rubles. One stack of firewood is enough for 4 hours. ……now we need to hire a welder.

I bought a Breneran stove for a sauna. In operation for 3 years. It warms well, even with a reserve. But there are two big disadvantages. Which turns all the pros into cons. First, the oven gets clogged and needs to be cleaned once every six months. But cleaning it completely is still a problem. Because there are no hatches or doors for this. There is one hole at the top. But through it, there is no way to get under the flame arrester. You need to be very clever, using a system of cables, with a rag tied to the cable, you can clean it, but it is very inconvenient. You will scratch all your hands on the hole in the heater. Second big minus. The flame arrester is made of thin steel. And it burned out after 3 years of operation. Because of this, the fire flies straight into the chimney? Instead of a bathhouse, you heat the street. The main function of the stove to heat the bath is not fulfilled. You can throw it away. In fact, its service life is 3 years. I don't recommend buying.

Dacha all year round!

Hi all! Today my review is dedicated to the stove Breneran (Buleryan) AOT-06 type 00 stove with one burner.

We decided to buy a stove for the dacha so that we could come to the dacha all year round. I chose and chose, then settled on the Breneran (Buleryan) brand, since there were the least number of negative reviews.

We arrived at the stoves and fireplaces store, the stove looked very impressive, I liked it! We bought a stove (about 11 tr) + all the pipes (the same amount came out).

We edited it ourselves, YouTube and Google, as they say, help!!

The design of the stove is made in such a way that the pipes from below can absorb cold air, and heating it, ensure air circulation throughout the room. The stove heats the house quite quickly. The stove burns wood for a long time, that is, you only need to add firewood once every 6 hours (as the manufacturer claims, it’s certainly not enough for 8-10 hours). But compared to the “potbelly stove”, which needs to be refilled every 2 hours, this is simply paradise!

Now about the area for which the stove is designed. It is stated for a room volume of 100 m³.

At first, our stove was located in a room of about 41 m³, it warmed up the room very quickly, even in frosty weather of -25 degrees it was possible to walk around half-naked. But when the stove reached its maximum temperature, it was difficult to stay in the room.

At the moment, the stove is in a room of about 72 m³, of course it takes a little longer to warm up, but literally after a couple of hours the whole room warms up quite evenly, we run around barefoot and in T-shirts. The heater would definitely not be able to cope with such a volume.

Regarding the stove, I personally tried to cook something on the stove, but somehow it didn’t work out for me, it seemed a bit long to me, and I definitely won’t stand over the stove and wait! Although in the future I’ll try to cook something else in a cauldron, I might like it :) At the moment, water is heated on the stove, a bucket of water heats up quickly enough, and always finds use in everyday life!

And the savings have not been canceled; energy costs are reduced significantly.

No cons as such were found. Of course, there are nuances associated with the stove, let’s say you are going to some kind of buffet, but in the house with the stove there is still the smell of wood, so things may also smell a little like wood. But here it is important to differentiate between your social status, your leisure time, etc.

Pros : Good furnace efficiency; Quickly heats up the room; Adding firewood every 6 hours; Made of steel; Availability of a comforter; Saves energy costs.

Cons : Requires quite a lot of space to install.

Result : We are very pleased with the stove, we have never regretted the money spent. In operation for about 4 years. I recommend to buy!

Breneran gas generator boiler: its advantages and disadvantages

Breneran heating equipment can be used for heating saunas, garages and industrial premises, as well as residential buildings. Reviews about these stoves are usually positive and confirm their stated characteristics.

The advantages of Breneran furnaces are that they are economical, compact and easy to maintain.

Advantages of Breneran stoves:

Autonomy of the device;
Ability to work on any solid fuel;
Cost-effective – the oven can operate for 12 hours on one load;
High efficiency, which can reach 80%;
Compact dimensions;
Simplicity and ease of maintenance;
Uniform heat distribution throughout the room.

As for the disadvantages, they are related to the structure of this equipment. Since the oven chamber is open, a specific smell appears in the room and the air dries out. And in addition to everything, condensation forms on the pipes.

As for the Breneran-Aquaten stove, which has a water circuit, it “can” work in both open and closed heating systems. It can be used simultaneously with cast iron radiators without converting the system to plastic. True, such a stove does not look very attractive and it is better not to combine it with modern aluminum radiators.

Positive and negative aspects of work

To fully evaluate the Buleryan stove, let’s pay attention to its positive and negative qualities.

Advantages of the Buleryan stove

From what was written earlier, some undeniable advantages of the operation of this furnace are already visible, but we will group all the characteristics that speak in favor of Buleryan:

High efficiency ≈ 70%;
Economical fuel consumption;
Easy to install and use;
Quick heating of the room;
Possibility of transporting hot air to other rooms (even on different floors) through air vents;
Uniform heating of the room due to convection;
The burning time of one load of fuel is ≈ 10-12 hours.

Disadvantages of the Buleryan stove

Now about those arguments that can be attributed to the negative aspects of the furnace operation:

The original Buleryan stove and its analogues are designed to operate only on wood;
Most of the generator gases, unfortunately, do not burn and fly out into the chimney;
Due to incomplete combustion of wood and gases, the stove produces smoke, and this soot exits into the chimney pipe. Therefore, it is recommended to extend the pipe 3 meters from the height of the stove. These are additional costs, and you need to take into account the fact that the pipe must be insulated, regardless of what it is made of - brick or metal;
Incomplete combustion of fuel also accumulates condensation of tar, soot and water in the chimney. This cokes the pipe and gives an unpleasant odor during kindling after a long period of inactivity;
The design of the furnace is designed for heat transfer from its surface, but for the same reason dust burns on the hot metal. This does not improve the atmosphere of the room;
It is not so easy to ensure maximum efficiency and long burning of one bookmark - you need to master the skills of adjusting the dampers.

As you can see, what is the fundamental idea of all analogues of the Buleryan stove, namely smoldering-type combustion, simultaneously causes a lot of side effects .

Efficient gas generator furnace Breneran: model range

Breneran devices are quite diverse and can offer the consumer several directions in which the equipment is manufactured. They differ in design features, but their operating principle is the same.

Breneran models:

A gas generator stove is the most common type of Breneran product. These can be either simple models designed to heat a room, or with a hob on which you can cook food.
Aqua and Aquaten stoves with a water circuit - their peculiarity is heating by moving the heated coolant. The boiler is connected to the pipes, and the liquid located there is heated, after which it is supplied to the radiators.
Special bath equipment that can work both for a sauna and simply create wet steam. As a rule, such sauna stoves are equipped with special compartments for stones.
Fireplaces that have a very attractive appearance and operate on any solid, but always dry fuel.

Of course, for heating a private house or cottage, the Breneran or Breneran-Aquaten gas generator boilers are best suited.

Recommendations

And finally, we decided to leave you with some useful tips from experts:

This heating system can be used for houses with one or two floors. It is not customary to use it in houses with more floors.
The place for installing Buleryan-Aqua with a water circuit must be covered with metal sheets.
The stove should be no closer than 50 cm from the walls.
It is forbidden to heat this type of stove with coal, since it is wood-burning. It is permissible to use only firewood.
For efficient heat transfer, special corrugated pipes can be used.
To prevent freezing of the coolant in the heating system, there is an electric heating element with a power of 1 kW. Don't forget to make sure it's working properly. To be on the safe side, completely drain the coolant from the heating system, and then the stove and pipes will be able to withstand temperatures even down to -50 degrees.
Try to install the device in a separate boiler room or at least not on the street. Although the street option is possible (but only if it is constantly burning), it is better not to risk it.

Like other types of pyrolysis equipment, Buleryan-Aqua is sensitive to the quality of the fuel used, as well as errors that can be made during installation and features of the operating process. In general, the stove has good thermal characteristics, and I often use it for heating domestic and even industrial premises.

Here you will learn:

Wood heating units are not famous for their highest efficiency. Developers are putting a lot of effort into making stoves more efficient and capable of heating multiple rooms at once. This is how the Buleryan stove with a water circuit was born.

It is a modernized version of the air furnace of the same name, repeating its design. Only instead of air, it heats the coolant circulating through the system.

High-quality Breneran Aquaten stove and its structure

In order to be able to heat not only the space around the stoves, but also the entire room, a water circuit is built into the heating equipment with an operating principle similar to central heating. It looks like an ordinary coil with liquid heated inside. It then spreads through pipes throughout the house and heats it up.

You can familiarize yourself with the design of the Breneran Aquaten stove yourself using the Internet

The body of this furnace is made of steel and treated with heat-resistant enamel, and of :

Two chambers – the lower one for fuel and the upper one – for afterburning the gas released during combustion;
Two injection manifolds located on the sides - it is through them that water enters, is heated and exits;
Two power regulators installed in the chimney and on the door.

Depending on the equipment models, stoves may have different chimneys, volumes, and parameters.

If the stove is used for a closed heating system, then for its operation a circulation pump, safety valve, air vent, pressure gauge and expansion tank are also purchased.

By the way, Breneran-Aquaten stoves operate only on solid fuel. But it does not use coke or coal.

For high-quality and efficient operation of such a stove, you need to completely fill it with fuel, and then one fill will be enough for 8-10 hours.

Operating principle and effectiveness

This method makes it possible to burn almost all the fuel. This is one of the factors that helps ensure the high efficiency of these types of furnaces. The ash pan in this device is located at the bottom of the combustion chamber, but in several variations of the device it simply is not there. This is due to the fact that the degree of burnout is already high, and there are practically no solid combustion products.

There are pipes around the combustion chamber, the casing. If the oven has a water circuit, but they will circulate water vapor. There are other variations of similar stoves in which heating air circulates. The circulation of water vapor occurs according to the following scheme: the steam is heated in the pipe and begins to expand under the influence of high temperatures. Because of this, according to the laws of physics, it begins to rise upward and enters the heating system. When heating residential premises, it begins to give off heat, and then cools and contracts.

After this, it falls back down and again enters the pipes adjacent to the boiler. There it will begin to warm up again and the cycle will repeat again. Do not forget that at the end of combustion we obtain gaseous waste. In this case, we are talking specifically about carbon dioxide and a small amount of smoke. These combustion products must be discharged outside through the chimney, which is located in the upper part of the stove.

Note that heat will be removed in a similar way. In order for the heat to remain inside and not escape along with combustion products, it should be lined with mineral wool or other material with similar properties. Using this method will also contribute and increase the efficiency of the heating system. the casing must be double-layered, which will help reduce wasteful heat consumption during operation of the device.

The Buleryan-Aqua heating process can be divided into 2 main stages:

Ignition. Wood is added to the stove to produce intense combustion.
Maintaining the fire. At this time, you should regularly add a small amount of fuel. So, during the combustion process everything will be smooth and with greater force. Keeping the fire going requires minimal effort.

When using a stove, you can decorate it, decorate it in such a way that it resembles a stylized Russian stove (or something else that you like).

Heating stove Breneran Aquaten: reviews of owners and types of models

Breneran-Aquaten stoves are distinguished by their diversity and each consumer can choose exactly what he needs.

The most common models are:

AOTV-6 is a lightweight and compact stove that can heat a room up to 100 cubic meters. cm. One tab can burn for 8 hours. Made in black and should only be placed near the wall. The cheapest model, as it does not have any additional functions.
AOTV-11 - can heat a room of 200 cubic meters. cm. Burns for 10 hours on one burnt. A little more expensive than the previous one.
AOTV-14 is a more powerful model. Heats an area of 400 cubic meters. cm. One firebox is enough for 10 hours.
AOTV-16 is a large and heavy stove. But at the same time, it can burn for almost 12 hours and is capable of heating a room of up to 600 cubic meters. cm.
AOTV-19 is the most powerful and efficient stove. It can also burn for 12 hours and efficiently heat a room of up to 1000 cubic meters. see The most expensive boiler in this series.

When choosing a stove, you should pay attention to its characteristics: to heat a small house, you do not need to buy an expensive and powerful boiler.

Opinions of Breneran-Aquaten stove owners:

Kirill. I bought a Breneran stove for my dacha. It suited me perfectly in terms of price and power. There were no problems with the installation. I just had to tinker a little with the chimney pipe. After I turned on the stove for the first time, a specific smell appeared, but then it disappeared and I didn’t feel anything like that anymore. It takes less than an hour to ignite and heats well. I'm happy.
Katerina. My husband and I bought a Breneran-Aquaten stove for our wooden house. It was easily connected to the pipes and began to be used. I liked that the boiler turned out to be “omnivorous”. We even used the remains of old furniture. The main thing is that the material is dry. I didn't like the appearance of condensation. It’s bad that there is no special container to collect this liquid.
Andrey. Breneran purchased a stove for his workshop and lined it with sheets of iron just in case to prevent a fire. I'm happy with everything, although at first there was a lot of soot in the chimney. I had to clean it very often. When I started using dry firewood, the problem practically disappeared.

User reviews

Mark, Moscow: “I have been using the Buleryan-Aqua stove with a water circuit for 2 years now. At first I used pine logs as firewood, but then I decided to use birch firewood. And then a problem arose - the pipes began to become clogged with porous masses. Because of this, they had to be cleaned, which was not very convenient in winter. This winter I changed everything - they use only chopped and well-dried firewood. I also make sure to set aside time to clean the pipes regularly, and there are no problems. Firewood began to burn faster, and it became even warmer than before.”

Irina, Novosibirsk: “I’ve been using Buleryan for 6 years. The oven is great, I’m not even afraid to leave it on overnight. The main thing is not to forget to switch it to smoldering mode out of harm’s way during this time.”

Kristina, Sverdlovsk: “Our family has a country house with an area of 100 m2. For him, we once purchased a Buleryan stove, which works great - everything heats up quickly, and only dry wood is used for heating. Although I am completely satisfied with the stove, I treat it with some caution, since it is very powerful.”

Evgeniy, Syzran: “I have extensive experience in using various stoves for heating, and I can say from experience that the Buleryan-Aqua stove with an additional circuit is an excellent option for those homeowners who permanently live in a private house. If you pour antifreeze liquid into the pipes, then even in severe frosts there will be no problems with the heating system. But still, such a stove is not suitable for everyone - it is very expensive.”

Review of Breneran furnaces with a water circuit

Long-burning gas generator stoves have gained great popularity in countries with harsh climates, where temperatures below zero degrees remain for several months. Inexpensive, reliable and economical. And if such a stove also has a built-in water circuit, then it becomes indispensable in many ways. After all, it can be used both for heating air in a residential or industrial premises, and for heating a house, cottage or garage.

Let's look at the main types of long-burning stoves with a water circuit presented on the Russian market, using the example of the Breneran-Aquaten or "Aqua-Breneran" stoves, which have different reviews from owners and stove makers. We will also consider their technical characteristics, operating principle, model range and prices.

This is probably the most famous and popular oven of this type. Its prototype was taken as a basis - this is the Breneran (Buleryan) stove. Then the engineers modified it somewhat and, by installing a heat exchanger in it, made it possible to use it not only to heat the surrounding air, but also to heat the coolant in the heating system.

Construction of the Breneran-Aquaten furnace (Fig. 1)

The stove body is welded from steel and covered with heat-resistant black enamel. There are two combustion chambers inside this furnace: upper and lower. In the lower chamber, the process of producing gases from solid fuel occurs, and in the upper chamber, the afterburning of these gases occurs, followed by heat generation.

There are 2 manifolds with built-in injectors on the sides. To adjust the power and operating mode, two dampers are installed on the stove: on the front of the door (4 - Fig. 1) and on the rear chimney pipe (3.5 - Fig. 1). For supplying and discharging coolant, there are two threaded manifolds on the unit body (1,2 - Fig. 1). The diameter of the chimney can be different, depending on the type of Aqua-Breneran: from 120 to 180 mm.

AOTV Breneran-Aquaten stoves come in several types:

— AOTV-6 type 00 — AOTV-11 type 01 — AOTV-14 type 02 — AOTV-16 type 03 — AOTV-19 type 04

They differ from each other in size, power, combustion chamber volume, and weight. Selected according to the area of the heated room. The smallest will heat up to 100 m3, the largest up to 1000 m3.

Technical characteristics of a long-burning furnace with a water circuit Breneran-Aquaten

Technical characteristics of Breneran-Aquaten

Almost any solid fuel is suitable for the Breneran-Aquaten stove: firewood, peat, cardboard, wood chips and sawdust, except coal and coke. It must be remembered that for the correct operation of such a stove, you need to ensure that when lighting the lower chamber is completely filled with fuel. In this case, the manufacturer guarantees operation on one load of solid fuel for up to 8-10 hours.

Using the water circuit of the Breneran furnace

Such a long-burning stove can operate in both open and closed heating systems. For a closed system, you need to purchase additionally and install the following equipment into the system:

- circulation pump - membrane expansion tank - safety group (safety valve and air vent, as well as pressure gauge)

For proper use of the stove in systems with natural circulation, it is necessary to observe a certain slope of the heating system pipes. As well as an open type expansion tank, which will need to be placed at the highest point of the system.

Everything is shown in more detail in the photo diagram below.

Installation diagram of the Breneran-Aquaten stove in an open heating system

Advantages of the Breneran-Aquaten furnace with a water circuit

— high operating efficiency in long-term burning mode — the ability to work in open and closed heating systems — the ability to combine with cast iron radiators without converting the old system to plastic (polypropylene) — affordable price from 15,000 rubles

Disadvantages of the Breneran-Aquaten stove

- not aesthetically pleasing - not recommended to be combined with modern aluminum radiators - a number of conditions for operation in gas generation mode (fully filled volume of the loading chamber, adjustment of dampers)

Total

A long-burning stove with a water circuit, Breneran, can be suitable for rooms of different sizes. But such a stove will not look very aesthetically pleasing at home. A special boiler room is ideal for it; you can also use it to heat a production workshop or garage, etc.

For heating a private home, I would still advise considering other, more modern options for long-burning stoves with a water circuit . For example, domestic Cooper boilers have proven themselves well. Or consider imported analogues, but in this case the price of the stove will be higher, and significantly. Therefore, you will have to choose. And finally, a short video review.

Price and terms of use

For example, a long-burning device Buleryan-Aqua PO-100 will cost you at least 10,000 rubles. This oven has a double combustion chamber. The warranty period is only 1 month. The volume of the room for heating can be up to 100 m3. There is another model, Buleryan-Aqua PO-200, which costs 15,000 rubles, and its main difference from the first model is that it can heat a room with an internal volume of 200 m3. But the Buleryan-Aqua NV-400 costs 19,000 rubles, and it can heat a room with a volume of 400 m3.
